Ok, let's suppose that somehow Eduard Shevardnadze has managed to stay in power after the 2003 parliamentary elections and supress the protesters. There would most likely be no 2008 war in Abkhazia and South Osetia and also no 2004 crisis in Ajaria. Shevardnadze, while not as radically as...

OTL there have been some accusations levelled against Georgia (the one in the Caucasus mountains, not the one in the Dixie), claiming the nation is sheltering Islamic terrorists. To Westerners, this might seem like a strange claim given that Georgia is a predominantly Christian country (& home...

Could she have unified the empire after the fourth crusade? It is possible? How could it happen? What would happen to the empire in the future?
